Brighten My Page

Brighten my page When ever I sit and do my writing Reading it back can be a little frightening It’s all very dark depressing and low I wish from my pen light land happiness could flow I beg of my pen unlock this cage Allow me please to brighten my page It never permits to set me free Won’t soften it’s lines or release me My internal pain is all I can show True feelings inside all dark with no glow Every verse must reflect my soul So over the page my pen does scroll It writes of my madness And my lonely sadness So until I can pull my self free and clear From these long shadows that I constantly fear My pen will keep me trussed and tied All access to the brightness For me denied
